Answer 1

Factors affecting relationship:-

1. Compatibility

   Two individuals in a relationship must be compatible with each other. There should be no scope of conflicts and misunderstandings in a relationship. Individuals from similar backgrounds and similar goals in life do extremely well in relationships. People with different aims, attitudes, thought processes find it difficult to adjust and hence fail to carry the relationship to the next level.

2. Communication

   Communication plays a pivotal role in all types of relationships whether it is personal or professional. Feelings must be expressed and reciprocated in relationships. Individuals need to communicate with each other effectively for better understanding. Do not stay mum as it leads to problems and misunderstandings. Two people in love must interact with each other on a regular basis through various modes of communication such as telephone, emails, letters (though exchanging letter is now considered an outdated form of communication). Staying in touch is essential for the love to grow especially in long distance relationships where individuals can’t meet quite often.

   In professional relationships as well, colleagues must communicate well for a better bonding. Sit with your co workers and discuss issues face to face to reach to a mutually acceptable solution.

   The recipient must understand what the sender intends to communicate and vice a versa. Clarity of thoughts is essential in relationships.

3. Honesty

   Be honest in relationships. Do not lie or hide things from your partner. Remember every problem has a solution. Think before you speak. Transparency is important in relationships.

4. Stay calm

   Do not overreact on petty things in relationships. Stay calm. Be a little more adjusting. Be the first one to say “Sorry”. It will solve half of your problems.

5. Forgiving

   An individual needs to be a little more forgiving in relationships. Do not drag issues unnecessarily. Fighting over small issues is foolish and makes the situation all the more worse.

6. Smile

   As they say “Smile is a curve that makes everything staright.” Flash your smile more often. It works. Take care of your facial expressions while interacting with the other person.

7. Time

   Time plays an important role in relationships. Individuals in love must spend adequate time to know each other better. Frustrations arise when people do not have time to meet or interact with each other. Even in organization, individuals must spend quality time with their co workers to strengthen the bond amongst themselves. Married couples must take time out for each other for the charm to stay in relationship forever.

   Make the other person feel important. Appreciate your partner whenever he/she does something for you. Praise him/her in front of others.

   Every relationship needs time and an individual’s effort to grow. Sit with your partner and try to sort out the differences amicably. Don’t be too rigid.

2.

Don't ignore your gut feeling

If you feel for a stretch of time that your partner is behaving shadily and evading healthy communication with you then usually it is true. If you feel that things that are telling you are not adding up, be vigilant.

Examine if the situation is toxic

The thing about emotional abuse is that it is pretty insidious. No one believes that they are in a toxic relationship until the matters get worse. So, Google about toxic relationships and see if you eerily relate with what is mentioned in those articles.

Nobody is responsible for your well being more than yourself. It is your fundamental responsibility towards yourself to think about yourself first and your well-being. Bad relationships take a toll on our physical and mental health. You owe it to yourself to leave the relationship if it is not adding value to your life.

It is not selfish. It is self-care.
